10w30 might be the wrong oil. Idk the mil spec or equivalent but i always run 15w40 in diesels.
25psi when hot is just fine.
0.4hr isnt really much of a run time. These arnt gas engines. They like to be loaded and dont benefit much from a 30min run every month.
Break in time is 100hrs.
I almost always have things for sale on craigslist and other online formats. I do a few things to weed out the time wasters.
1)Dont take offers not in person.
2)Dont give full adress until they are on the way.
3)If they ask for a spec not in the listing send them a link that shows everything...
Has anyone put something line dynamat or some other sound absorption product inside the covers on one of these?
Mine specificly could benefit from a rattling junk look over. Bseams like everything thats not bolted down is rattling and clanking.

You prob wouldnt even need the pallet jack until you got it down. Two men can slide a 802 on a wood deck trailer. The aluminum skid on the 802/3 and aluminum ramp..might just self unload. If not roll it down on a floor jack only on one end.
Since the golf cart is 6v batterys wired in series you could run a disconnect to isolate 4 of them and attch jumper cabes there. A Frankenstein style disconnect dosnt break the bank.
Its not a mechanical gauge so make sure you get a sender with it if you go aftermarket. Or at least know the Ohm readings are compatible.
I have an aftermarket fuel gauge and used the original sender.
Those LCI water jugs can be had directly from the company for $25 shipped. I use them for water and i can say they are wonderfull.
For fuel i cant see spending upwards of $50 for a gas can. If you hate the CARB compliant ones like me just buy the VP racing fuel cans. They sell them in OD...
